Crime Fiction Lover's Top Five Books of 2020 On a snowy Thursday night in Chicago, there is a knock on Detective Hank Purcell's door. Sister Mary Philomena has seen something terrible at Saint Fidelis Church -- a violation of all she holds sacred. The next Monday, she is found murdered in the convent basement, next to a furnace stuffed with old papers and photographs. And Margaret, Hank's teenage daughter, has disappeared. Hank and his unconventional partner Marvin Bondarowicz try to force their way through a wall of ecclesiastical silence to find the killer, while their search for Margaret takes them from swank lakeside flats to drug dens to south-side basement blues clubs...and the snow keeps falling.
Autorenporträt
John Guzlowski's Polish parents met in a Nazi slave-labor camp, and he was born a Displaced Person. Growing up in Chicago's "Murdertown", he saw his friends beaten, their houses burned, their parents killed in the street. An acclaimed teacher and poet, Guzlowski remembers those who survived the war, and the ones who didn't survive Chicago.
